Fastmount, a global leader in panel mounting systems, has announced the launch of the VL-PF3 Female Recessed Mount Acoustic Clip, a purpose-designed solution for mounting PET acoustic panels. The innovation has earned a nomination for the prestigious DAME Design Award, recognising excellence in marine equipment design.
As acoustic panels made from recycled PET bottles become increasingly popular in commercial interiors, the VL-PF3 offers a sustainable, glue-free mounting system that supports full panel recyclability. Designed for fast, flush installation, the VL-PF3 is ideal for modular wall and ceiling applications in retail, hospitality, healthcare, and education environments.
Designed for sustainability and simplicity
Crafted from durable acetal, the VL-PF3 provides a flush, secure fit with a 2mm gap between panel and substrate. It supports panels with a minimum density of 144kg/m³, and can handle up to 6kg per m², making it suitable for both wall and ceiling applications.
The clip is reusable and recyclable, and can be reground at the end of its life for use in new products—supporting circular design principles. Installation is fast and precise, reducing labour time and rework. The VL-PF3 is part of Fastmount’s Very Low Profile (VL) Range, which includes the VL-M3 male clip and VL-CP3 centre point for accurate alignment.
Key features of the VL-PF3 include:
- Glue-free push-fit system for easy installation and recyclability
- Durable acetal construction, reusable and recyclable
- Flush fit with 2mm gap, supporting panels up to 6kg/m²
- Efficient installation for speed and precision
